26 year old australian here, uncut, most of the boys ive met here have been uncut, ages 23 to 36. one guy was older, was cut, at 42, so sometime between then and me it fell out of favour, i assume that would be in the 1980s.

There is no real reason to be circumcised, most of the time I have heard it simply gets done because the dad is cut. as is the case i think for the circumcision of my friends son recently. i dont understand the need to take something off that isnt broken.

my father was not circumcised and nor was my oldest brother, why my parents decided to have my youngest brother and me cut, i do not know. i am anti circumcision and certainly did not get my son circumcised.

I've heard of a few guys having their sons done recently, but I most are still leaving them intact. Certainly a big turn around on 30 years ago when it was almost routine.

Hey,
i actually work in mens health...and the answer is end of the 70 start of the 80s.

These days less tha 10 of boys are circumsized.


Personally - I was cut for medical resason... but i also prefer men who are cut... looks better, taste better and feels better.


But i also think, boys/men should have the right to choose for themselves when they are of consenting age.

Just wondering when circumcision fell out of favour in Australia?

I'm 32 and about half of my mates are cut.

Anyone got any stats? When did things peak? When did things change?

How old are you? And what percentage of your mates are cut or uncut?

I was born in 1986. My parents decided to leave me intact.

All of my friends that were born here that I know of are intact too, except my Turkish and Korean friends- all born from mid 1980s onwards.

Surprising though how many medical doctors in Victoria advocate circumcision today behind closed doors-Over the last few years i've had more then a few offer to organise the procedure or referral for one when they have found out my status and my few problems i've had with it infrequently over the years; even when the reason for being at the Doc's had nothing to do with my privates. It seems that more and more though Circumcision talk keeps popping up these days.

Take for example this story about what happened to a friend of mine's young son. He had started to see a new paediatrician a few months back and the Circumcision argument came up- problem is my friend didn't get the time to argue...

You see he said the paediatrician told his wife that that she should have their son circ'd. What you should know about the wife you see, is that she is a bit on the bossy side and likes to make all the decisions. Turns out the wife agreed with the Paediatrician on Circumcised being better (whilst it turns out my friend doesn't and is happy being intact). My friend only found out about all this when things were made clear to him recently.

I remember him saying how horrified he was when, a few weeks back, he came home from a business trip from overseas having been away for a couple of weeks. To cut a long story short, that first night back he was helping his son get ready for bed when his wife's preference was made all too apparent to him. She had gone ahead and had their son circumcised whilst he was away as she knew and I quote "he'd overreact over such a silly flap of skin".

My friend was really angry when he found out what had happened to his son. He said he never knew she was in favour of Circumcision as it had never come up as an issue. He blames the paediatrician, but the biggest shocker (and even I was a floored) was when the wife said she'd wish he'd "hurry up and get the chop as she was getting fed up of his dirty droopy foreskin."

Poor guy, I didn't know what to say to the fella. Sad part is, he said he is thinking about getting it done now solely because he feels sorry for his poor son. He said he thought it best for his son to match his Dad (talk about a role reversal) I think he feels like it is the responsible thing to do now so his son doesn't feel different. Personally, I think he should dump the bitchy wife and count his losses before things gets worse, ahem. :frown1:

I definitely think that there is a resurgence going on in Australia. It seems like this talk about the subject in the media is becoming more and more frequent. I guess it brings it back into the public mindset, or perhaps the push is from Doctors in this global financial crisis to make a quick buck? Who knows.

Personally I think it should be left up to the guy involved when he's old enough to know his junk. If he has problems, then he can get it done later if needs be. Then it can avoid a lot of those horrible 'family' issues.

Zee.

I don't know if there's a resurgence going on or not, but in this case, it wasn't the doctor's fault. The doctor only made a recommendation (faulty as it may have been). It was your friend's wife who chose to have the procedure done without even consulting your friend. If a partner did the same to my child, I would be divorcing them. Immediately.


yes but sadly women will never get it
yes it is our cock but not usually our choice

You really think every woman is just itching to get a chance to have part of their son's penis chopped off?

In my experience, more women are against infant circumcision and for leaving it up to him to decide when he is old enough.

I think more people in general today are against Routine Infant Circumcision-men and women alike. I agree whole heartedly in leaving it up to the guy in question to decide if and when the situation arrises.

Subgirl, I give my friends marriage at best another 1-2 years tops. Can't say I'll feel bad for her if he decides to go separate ways. Who I do feel bad for is her son and my friend. Personally I can't understand why my friend married her-she was like this when he was dating her, but as the old saying goes, "love is blind." I just hope he doesn't go ahead with an adult circumcision just to appease her in the interim before he finally snaps and divorces. :frown1:

Is the adult circumcision for her, or is it for his son? Personally I don't think boys need to 'look like their dad', but I know that some people feel it's important. If it's important to your friend for his son to be the same as him, it's unlikely he will regret it later. He might well regret it if it's his wife he's thinking about doing it for.

Sounds like someone's wife needs to be put in her place. If I were your friend, I'd even think about having a little discussion with the doctor who recommended the circ. I'd make it obvious to him or her that BOTH parents were not in agreement.

Damn! Talk about causing problems between each other!

The woman who sneakily had her son cut while his dad was away - she's a low cunt, and should be divorced immediately.

Hi everyone,

Thought i'd update you on my friend- the one whose wife had surreptitiously circumcised their son whilst he was away. I'd forgotten about this thread, and it was thanks to the notification of skinboy8's post that I remembered.

Last week I happened to go swimming with my friend. I hadn't seen him in quite a while, and it was the first time i've really spoken to him since August- he'd been away again for work.

I have to admit, i was somewhat surprised at what i saw when he slipped off his swimmers before hitting the showers. He was now circumcised- not what i was expecting at all. I talked to him about it a bit; I think he saw the shock and surprise on my face.

Turns out he had the cut done about 2 weeks after we last spoke. His wife had already arranged an urologist appointment months back when her son was cut (talk about scheming). She basically said to him 'Tell the Urologist that you need the circumcision, or I take the kid and we're through' (Poor bastard :frown1:) I asked him why he didn't argue or some such instead of allowing her to push him around, but got the distinct impression that he figured this was the easiest way to get the whole issue buried ASAP- I don't think he wins much with his wife, and I know he adores his son, so i guess it was the lesser of two evils.

He said that after meeting with the Urologist, who was more then happy to circumcise him, he was cut a few days later at the private hospital.

His poor penis still looks very tender, but i guess being only like 8 or 9 weeks after the surgery, it is still hasn't had much time to get used to the change and settle down, from what i hear.

Fortunately for him, if he had to be circumcised, at least it looks like the Doc did a good job. Left him a lot of inner skin from what i could tell, but he did say this 'stringy bit' hurts still when he is wearing pants, from where they cut it out- no doubt as it looked like they carved his frenulum clean. But he said though, which got a laugh from everyone in earshot that 'at least it doesn't hurt when it counts banging the Mrs'.

So he matches his son now, and he said that gives him some comfort.

I still don't recon he'll stay married to his wife for much longer though if she keeps pushing him around like this.
